I had my hand held belt sander go out last week so I went out and
bought one of the Guinevere motors from King Arthur's Tools. Nice
motor with a chuck on each end. Runs so quiet you can hardly tell it
is on. I do still do my main rough carving with a disk which is on
another motor but it also could be put on the Guinevere. I am now
using the Guinevere with a soft drum sander for smoothing the rangs
more.
I you are looking for a motor to put a sanding drum on, I can
recommend this tool. It is very nice and so quiet. I do plan to get
the flexible shaft for the tool at some time.
